​

No Terror in The Bang is a progressive metal / cinematic metal band. It weave a chiaroscuro universe between fragility and fury. The band's name refers to a phrase by Alfred Hitchcock, evoking the calm before the storm and the tension of his films: "There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it." The band's songs alternate between dreams and nightmares, turbulence and frenzy.

​

If Volume I "Eclosion" surprised metalheads with its duality between the primitive vitality of metal and the finesse of cinematic orchestration, Volume II "Heal" drives the point home more brutally, with self-assumed "world" tracks that are by turns turbulent, touching and powerful.

​

Sofia Bortoluzzi's mezzo voice alternates between characters, clear and saturated vocals. Each of the band's tracks has a unique narrative atmosphere, somewhere between modern metal and dark film soundtracks, with suspense and climax.

​

Artistic direction is provided by drummer-composer Alexis Damien (Pin-up went down, Void paradigm, ex-Carnival in coal live, etc.), along with Etienne Cochin (guitar), Clement Bernard (guitar), Brice Bouchard (bass) and Romain Greffe (keyboards).

​

The band's second album, "Heal", is released on 02.02.24 on Klonosphere label / Season of mist / The orchard / Sony
